It’s 1922, and Jack Haldean, a young crime writer and former Royal Flying Corps pilot, is enjoying the local summer fete. But the idyll is soon shattered when Jack’s fellow officer, Jeremy Boscombe, is found dead in the fortune-teller’s tent. When a friend of Boscombe’s is also found murdered, Jack soon realises that the roots of the crime go back to an incident during the Battle of the Somme. Money, love, revenge and blackmail all play their part as Jack inches closer to the truth, putting his life and the lives of those around him in danger…

Midsummer 1923 and Isabelle’s parents are celebrating their silver wedding with a ball at their country house, Hesperus. Isabelle has a dilemma some might envy: two men are in love with her. But her romantic difficulties are quickly forgotten when tragedy occurs. One of the guests apparently commits suicide at the ball. Jack Haldean believes it’s murder, and further complications ensue when a group of Russian revolutionaries become involved in the affair. In a case involving greed and jealousy, kidnap and more deaths, Jack faces an agonising choice on his journey to the truth – a journey which will change Isabelle’s life forever…

Another Jack Haldean mystery, set in the Roaring Twenties . A hundred thousand dragons lie, underneath an Arabian sky. How do a few lines of poetry, a chance encounter in a London hotel, and a death in Sussex lead to a lost city of Arabia, and to the tombs of the Whispering Dead? Jack Haldean has evaded the truth for years, but now, enmeshed in the web of murder, theft and deception, he must find the answer and face up to the truth – a truth as deadly as any dragon . .

Desperate to know what happened to Mark, his uncle, old Mr Hunt, appeals to Jack Haldean. Inspector Bill Rackham of Scotland Yard thinks it’s a thankless task. Perhaps, says Jack, but why should Mark Helston vanish? And then Jack finds a body…
